Road freight refers to the transportation of goods by road using trucks or other vehicles.
It is a widely used method for domestic and international shipping, particularly for short to medium distances.
Essential documents such as the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any required certificates (e.g., origin, health) must be prepared and submitted.
The shipment details are declared to the customs authorities. This includes the description, value, and quantity of the goods.
Customs authorities may inspect the goods to verify the accuracy of the declaration and ensure compliance with import regulations..
Any applicable duties, taxes, and fees must be calculated and paid before the goods are released. This includes tariffs, VAT, and other relevant charges.
Once cleared, the goods are released by customs and can continue their journey to the final destination.
